The former boyfriend who was convicted of murder along with Amanda Knox says the 22-year-old American isn't capable of killing anyone. In a prison interview, Raffaele Sollecito described Knox as a "very sweet girl" and said her conviction in the murder of Meredith Kercher was "absurd and inadmissible." As for his own 25-year sentence, the Italian said he was struggling to accept the reality, CNN reports.

"I was certain that the verdict would put an end to a nightmare. Instead, it didn't," Sollecito said. "When the sentencing was read, I didn't understand what was happening and even now it seems impossible and still don't understand why I was convicted." He continued, "If I didn't have faith, I would have ended my life. The world has collapsed on top of me with this verdict. It collapsed on me and Amanda."

Every poster here is an idiot? Hey, don't take this the wrong way, but Up Yours. This other dame died during this circus, and either she died of natural causes or commited suicide, or maybe the real killer ran in off the street while the rest of these naieve little bozos were too busy playing patty-cake with each other to notice him coming and going, and then the 'real killer' ran back out again. And as for this happening to 'one of your own children', if one of your own children is wandering around Italy with several other "too cool for school" hun-yucks, or wandering around Turkistan, or Algeria, or Bulgaria, or downtown Tijuana, or Iran, and something bad happens to them, well we have a term for this situation in America: Duh.
